If you're using the u-boot that came with MPC8272 Eval board it may 
happen that BCSR is mapped differently in u-boot and the kernel 2.6. 
That's what happened when I tried to boot linux 2.6 on MPC8272ADS. Check 
the value of CFG_BCSR in u-boot/include/configs/MPC8260ADS.h and 
BCSR_ADDR in linux/arch/ppc/platforms/pq2ads.h
